U.N. Women, the United Nations organization responsible for furthering the cause of women all over the world, seems out to erase itself and any credibility it has as a women’s rights organization.

President Joe Biden gave a speech to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday that was guaranteed to delight any globalist.

Speculation over internal conditions in North Korea and the stability of its regime is even more rampant than usual.   Reports of food shortages, a COVID-19 outbreak, and political volatility have fanned much of the speculation. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un’s recent extended absence from public view simply fueled the fire, triggering renewed rumors of health problems.   Still, it never…

Negotiations at the United Nations on a “political declaration” on HIV/AIDS ended in controversy last week as nations clashed over a “human rights” approach to preventing spread of the AIDS virus.

The United Nations Human Rights Council opened its 46th regular session on Monday.

A U.N. expert is shining a spotlight on those who dare oppose the world body’s ubiquitous LGBT agenda, singling out “actors” who resist the promotion of “gender ideology.” A new inquiry from the independent expert on sexual orientation and gender identity, based in Geneva, solicits information on these actors and their “strategies” with the objective of showcasing…

“So … you represented Trump?” That question is unfairly haunting a number of the former president’s lawyers.   Because of his legal counsel to former President Donald Trump, constitutional scholar and law professor John Eastman—the former dean of the law school no less—was pushed out of Chapman University, where he spent his entire, very distinguished academic career.   The same thing happened to Cleta Mitchell, a well-known and highly…

At the behest of all 54 African countries, the U.N. Human Rights Council held an “urgent debate” June 16 to discuss racism and police brutality, with a special focus on the U.S. Earlier, the head of the African Union, Moussa Faki, publicly condemned George Floyd’s killing.

Chinese influence in the United Nations and its affiliated international organizations has been expanding significantly over the past decade.
